| Bio notes | An Algonquian-speaking tribe based around the Pamunkey and James Rivers in eastern Virginia. As members of the Powhatan Confederacy, they regularly interacted with Europeans after the establishment of Jamestown in 1607. In response to colonial encroachment, the Pamunkey chief Opechancanough led Confederacy attacks in 1622 and 1644 on British settlements, after which a 1646 treaty established land boundaries and created the first reservation. Following Bacon’s Rebellion—during which the Pamunkey fought as allies of the colonial government—they signed the Treaty of Middle Plantation in 1677, establishing more reservation lands but at the cost of subservience to the English Crown. They retained the same reservation lands up to the present day, and have reportedly made every tribute legally required. |
